Ill-advised and amateurishly executed, Ass Backwards begins with a passably funny concept and runs it into the ground within 20 minutes.

| Apr 27, 2020

As with any kind of episodic or sketch comedy, some gags land more effectively than others, although you'll likely find a line or a beat or an image that makes you laugh from start to finish.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 8, 2013

The road adventures they have along the way aren't funny, and once they reach the pageant, the comic payoff you're hoping for never materializes.

Where movie comedy teams once required a "straight" member - or so-called normal characters - off which to bounce stupidity or silliness, Raphael and Wilson believe total immersion in thickheadedness and failure is riot enough.

| Nov 7, 2013

Raphael and Wilson are impressively committed to these misadventures, but it's a shame the movie is so cruel to the characters.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 7, 2013

Ass Backwards overcomes the obvious beats with clever, occasionally dark jokes that reveal the sharpness of its stars' writing.

| Original Score: B | Nov 7, 2013

Wilson and Raphael have been a comedy team for years, and they riff off each other expertly; too often, however, that's all they do.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 5, 2013

The episodic story and minimal budget result in a small canvas over which these two huge characters dominate.

If you loved Romy and Michele's High School Reunion... well, rewatch it instead of this tedious comedy.

| Original Score: D | Oct 4, 2013

I can't help but recommend you check this out on VOD and mostly pay attention to it.

| Original Score: C | Jan 30, 2013

A comedy built on the amusement value of stupid people that is itself too stupid to be funny.
